In the warmer months, rainbows of alpine blooms fill rolling meadows as far as the eye can see. You catch sight of a mule deer dashing through the forest as birds serenade you. Explore where old growth rainforests give way to stony mountain slopes, where wild flowers shelter scurrying creatures and tranquil lakes call to you to jump in for a swim. Reach your peak; find your path, let nature lead you in the North Thompson Valley.
Whether it’s a day trip in the old growth rainforest or a week-long adventure going hut to hut, there’s nothing quite like this adventure.
Interior Cedar-Hemlock, sub-alpine and alpine tundra eco zones climb from valley floor to the peaks of sloping mountains in the pure wilderness of Wells Gray Provincial Park. Born of erupting volcanoes, scarred and scoured by retreating glaciers, this is Canada at its most raw and wild. And it’s all a half-hour drive off the Yellowhead Highway, near the town of Clearwater. Take your time and explore Wells Gray on a three, five or seven-day hut to hut adventure on foot or on cross-country skis. Restore yourself as you play in nature, climb its peaks and tumble through its fields.
